LG XF2 Media Player

Seen a lot of storage based media players for the past year. All of them were loaded with all the bells and whistles, claims to be the first this and first that, came from a well known manufacturer and so on. But one look with the LG XF2 and I felt my hand grabbing for my wallet to get one.

Just one look on this media player will captivate your eyes in its sleek and gorgeous design. The whole thing looks like an upper portion of a slider phone like the ones from Samsung (U600 and U700). It uses only an HDMI output making it compact with less components to accommodate for video outputs but also would restrict its users to use HDMI. Though you could say that most TVs nowadays come with an HDMI input, some still don’t and we cannot blame them for not getting a new TV.

Over at the specs, it can play mkv, asf, avi, rm, rmvb, dat, mpg, mpeg, vob, iso, lfo, ts, m2ts, tp, mp4, mov, flv, and xvid video file formats with srt, sub, smi, ssa, idx+ movie subtitles format. Music with mp3, wma, asf, wav, and flac and photos with JPG, BMP, PNG / GIF (Interlace/Animation mode is not supported), TIFF (Raw data mode support). In addition, this media player supports 5.1 DTS sound system and 1080p full HD video output.

You can get this media player by April in South Korea so for now, you just have to settle with your current media player. Or maybe you can get a new HDMI capable TV in preparation for this one.

HD media players are available at Amazon
